NEW ROAD YEAR BEGINS MAY 1ST Indications Are It Will Sri New Record in Construc tion and One That W ill !>?? Maintained. ll> J. IIOYLK 1*34. toy TM 4*vi?m New York. May 3.?The greatest annual period of highway construc tion this country has ever .known really got under way Thursday. May 1 marked the opening of work in h score of stated, both on the country roads and on city streets. Highway construction in 1924 probably will get into the billion dollar class of Industries. The amazing activity of this road construction is ;ivln? work directly to hundreds of thotisM.i'.s of men and Its effect is felt by the en tire business world as w<>ll ps those engaged in the equipment and sup ply business. The Portland Cement Association reports that the awards for con crete highway construction in ?he first part of this year surpassed all previous records. Approximately 12,000,000 square yards, or 1,200 miles of concrete highway 18 feet wide, were placed uuder contract during the first three months of the I year. In addition, over 425 miles of city streets have been ordered paved , with concrete. These figures do not Include the 2,500 miles of contracts which were carried over from 1923 i when cold weather put a stop to out-' door work. Thousands of miles of gravel high ways and roads formed of other ma terials than concrete are being built j today throughout the country. State | and Federal ofTlclals are co-operat ing with officials of the various trail associations and with cement com-' pany heads and all say the volume j of construction will be unprecedent ed Demands of motorists who now exceed 14,000,000 passenger and i truck owners In this country, are forcing the program. How urgent I this demand for good roads has be-1 come may be estimated by the fact, that California alone expects more than 100,000 automobiles will enter) the state this year from outside | points. Last year 70,000 cars were ? registered from outside the state, an 1 Increase of 135 per cent over 1922. ? State officials in California estl- J mate that each of these visiting cars ? contained three persons on the aver-.} age and they stay in the state about j 30 days and spend at least $10 a dav j for each party. On this basis, the i motoring tourists will leave $30,- 2 000,000 In California this year and S a proportionate amount in the states through which they pass. Callforntans declare that the 7,000 miles of paved highways in the sta?e have been a magnificent investment. There are 1,200,000 cars registered in the state and these have brought new settlers. The good roads con necting various parts of the common wealth have led to qu.ck upbuilding of country sections. Transcontinental traffic is assum ing large proportions. Last year 1,400 New York cars made the trip a?rosg the country to the Pacific I coast. Illinois sent 2,625 cars to. ? Call font la. while lowa, Kansas and ] Michigan were represented by sinii- ! lar numbers. ? Each year the transcontinental J highways are becoming better and . 1924 will be marked by the opening ' of the Victory Highway between New \ York and San Francisco. {< In spite of all this activity, how- / ever, only a small proportion of th.< ! country's roads have been Improved. ; A survey shows that there are ap-| proximately 2,940,000 miles of high-' ways of all classes In the I'nlted States. Of this mileage about 420,-; 000.have been surfaced with gravel, naudP clay or the more permanent materials. At the present rate of construction about 40,000 miles Is I surfaced a year. Since the life of a road seldom exceeds 15 years, It can 1 readily be seen that the construction i work must continue Indefinitely.
